    and Moiso is 7 feet, he is also a lefty, and makes KMart look short. He's also French. Moiso shall own all.

    i'd still take stromile swift over kenyon martin. he has a greater upside and is not as much of a injury risk.

    And like being 7 feet tall helped him block any shots?

    As the sun will rise in the East and set in the West; thacabbage will never like Moiso.

    Moiso measures out to 7 feet without shoes. But his heart measures out to a paltry 5'3" with heels.

    Thanx again DA MAN. You should be called the height man. Darius Miles will take a couple years to develop, but once he learns, watch OUT.

    ...at a svelte 202 Darius Miles is still 2 pounds heavier than DerMarr Johnson...oh well, his tiny weight matches his tiny heart.

    (oh yeah, Moiso's not the only player who doesn't give a damn)

    Nuege-You just lost all your credibility. Dermarr Johnson measured in at 6'9'', 201, only 1 pound lighter than Miles. [​IMG]

    P.S.-While questioning desire, hasn't Miles been working out with a strength/weight gaining program for about 2 months? And he's only gained 1 pound?

    cabbage-Moiso did block shots. 1.66 per game to be exact, while sharing the paint with Gadzuric. He also blocked more shots than Gadzuric. Did KT's "heart and desire" (which was questioned before the draft, ahem) help him block many shots?

    Of other note, I was only half joking about Moiso. But, I will defend Moiso if needed. Lefties have a distinct shot blocking advantage as right handed players driving to the hole, go right towards their left hand., and he hasn't been playing basketball very long. He'll get better in that department as his timing develops more, and I feel he'll average around 1.5 a game in the NBA.

    True shot blockers can block with either hand. [​IMG]

    I'm not saying they can't. But it's a lot more natural to block shots with one hand than the other. It'd be like saying "true shooters can shoot with either hand" Most NBA players can shoot with either hand (or at least do layups), but they are usually more comfortable with one. [​IMG]

    Isn't there some Chinese guy who is over 8ft in China somewhere?

    Block this!

    If Moiso is closer to 7' than 6'9" & can play defense with any kind of quickness then I would consider him good enough at 9. Especially if can float between the 4 & 5.

    Shawn Bradley can block shots with either hand or his head & I wouldn't give him the time of day if he was in this draft @ 9.

    I'm sure you can find a nice 7'2" skinny center from some 3rd world country with no skills other than shot blocking capabilities in the draft @ about the 2nd round. That is if Nellie don't grab them all up by then......
